That was perfect, Thanks.<br />
<br />
Going off of your example I was able to create a function to handle all possible timers and end them with a functional messagebox.<br />

Going off of your example I was able to create a function to handle all possible timers and end them with a functional messagebox.


<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have created a program where the user selects a time limit radio button, a skill from a ComboBox, then clicks a start button to start the timer. &nbsp;When the timer has ran down the start button is re-enabled, the timer reset and a messagebox pops up to announce the ending of the time limit.<br />
<br />
My problem is:<br />
I want to add into the MessageBox the skill chosen from the ComboBox. &nbsp;(i.e. &quot;Your timer for &quot;[ComboBox choice]&quot; has expired.&quot;) &nbsp;I want this feature since the user has the option of running multiple timers for multiple ComboBox choices and it would be nice if they knew which timer had expired.<br />
<br />
I have tried everything that I can think of, looked through the search here, and other places. &nbsp;The closest I get to my goal is getting the error:<br />
<br />
[C++ Error] Main.cpp(558): E2034 Cannot convert 'AnsiString' to 'char *'.<br />
<br />
(Borland C++ Builder 4.0)<br />
<br />
Once I get my messageboxes working properly my program is done. &nbsp;Please help me....<br />

Inserting ComboBox text into a MessageBox

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
